i have NO option on my screen that included the word "edit". i have no option on my screen that allows any choice of toolbars EXCEPT to add more useless apps to a toolbar i don't want in the first. the ONLY place on my screen that shows the word "edit" is in the upper left hand corner and ONLY viewable if you click on firefox logo ... and right clicking the 'edit' in that icon accomplishes nothing - much like the useless resolutions to what is a very easily accomplished task in IE - tell me again how great firefox is ...

On my Firefox 20.0.1 / Windows 7 the Yahoo Toolbar was still present after uninstalling it from Control Panel -> ... ->Programs and Features which was obviously extremely frustrating.

In order to remove it, go to your account's AppData folder and just remove the folder containing the Yahoo Toolbar extension:

c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE.default\extensions\YAHOO_TOOLBAR_FOLDER

Replace USERNAME and PROFILE.default with your local settings. I didn't write down the exact name of the YAHOO_TOOLBAR_FOLDER. It's one containing an "install.rdf" file which refers to Yahoo Toolbar.

I'm transitioning to CHROME.I hate Microsoft and Google but I have zero time for the FIREFOX frustration.
